This mobile home community had some unused land so put in sites for RVs right along the fence separating it from the busy 4 lane road. Traffic noise loud and All Night. We had electric, water, sewer, and we had internet. But the access road to the site was narrow, rutted, and once at the site, had no good way to exit. They seem to have put two RVs on one mobile home site with a shared driveway that is not in front of either. So you might drop off the curb getting out. Certainly want to unhitch if towing, and you couldn't fit in anyway with it attached. When I checked in, was told to follow the signs and not given map, instructions, or anything else. It was not as simple as it sounded. If ever in the area again, we would either stay at Walmart or keep on going. - Too-wow

Like it was said previously, this park is mostly permanent homes, with some RV sites. The sites are hard to get to, narrow roads, big trees. Site itself is grass, narrow, not level. To exit the site you have to go over a curb, and dodge the parked cars. - wilpower

This was a last resort choice for us to stay after we got kicked out of a previous park for having too many kids. I cannot wait to move. There are old, trashy looking RVs, beer cans/trash all over, and quite the number of unsavory looking people around. There are also 3 sex offenders, including 2 child molesters registered here. The neighbors across the drive have a stagnant pond and kiddie pool as well as a fire pit full of trash and beer cans. The mosquitoes and flies are horrible. There's a big park dog that is allowed to roam freely. This place just sucks. When we first pulled in, I was so upset that I didn't have another option. The lot is teeny tiny and squished in between two others. One neighbor has a big fenced in backyard with some scraggly looking dogs. There is no grass, just gravel. The sewer lines are above ground. It stinks. The wifi is $20/mo extra and sucks. Seriously, can't wait for my name to come up on a waiting list elsewhere. You have to share a community mailbox with everyone in your little section of the park and hope no one steals your mail. No thank you. - Charlise Grisham

This is a nature park with 44 sites. The sites range in size from small to huge depending on the lay of the land and surrounding trees. The lady that is running it is accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we were set up and comfortable. We stayed a week for $125 and then paid for a month and that was $385. The river is not on the property but is directly behind it as the park backs up to a preserve. Beautiful hiking, and good fishing if you don't mind walking about 15 minutes to the water. All the neighbors were friendly to us, and would not hesitate to stay there again. - PresleyWalker

We actually didn't stay here. The office is a run-down mobile home. The "manager" was next door in another mobile home. When he appeared, he wore no shoes, his socks were falling down around his ankles. He had a scraggly beard, was dirty and not presentable and appeared to be disoriented. He was scary. He said the sites were not for overnight stay, but weekly or monthly. He preferred monthly guests and the rate was $385. The entrance was poorly marked ( a small hand painted sign nailed to a telephone pole ). The pool was drained and there was some brush and trash in it. The interior roads are gravel and from what I could see in very poor condition. At most campgrounds/RV parks, you can safely sit around a campfire with other campers. I would be very reluctant to invite those I saw from the entrance to my campfire. Their website says, among other things, to "stay" in your RV. I had difficulty understanding this until I saw the place. I think it means that you're only safe if you stay inside with the doors locked. - Texas_Camper

We stayed at Shady Creek for a month ($600 plus elec) and couldn't have been happier with this privately run park. The folks in the office are very nice, helpful and hardworking. Same goes for the people that are always working in and around the park. Nice dog run; very dog friendly. Nice laundry, reasonable cost. Everything is clean, the grass is always maintained. There is housing construction going on behind the park but we didn't hear any noise at all but we were a few rows from the construction. Very quiet. They had a BBQ party for everyone (free and not potluck) and it was first rate, DJ, great food, beer and drinks. Would definitely stay here again. - Gina A

Very well kept park. All sites are back-in. Nearly full while we were there with lots of permanent and semi permanent units. Seemingly a lot of transient construction and contractors using the park for living.. Quiet. This park is being overtaken by surrounding housing developments. Rates are on the high side, but there aren't many options if you're visiting family in the area. Lots of road construction in the surrounding area so be ready for traffic delays... No picnic tables... - Champ203

This park is located close to Frisco. Easy in and out of park. Not to far off of the tollway. The sites are gravel and level. Full time residents evident but the sites are clean. Park is well maintained and the people checking us in were helpful and pleasant. A little pricey but choices are limited. Would rate it higher but the sites are a little close though they did have ample parking. All back ins. No pull throughs. - TX Dreamers

The park was just ok. Spacious sites, but only mowed around your site. The hosts had very junky campsites. Clotheslined, old junk boats which had not been mowed under, all sorts of stuff laying around their sites which made the place look junky. - Ilona

We always enjoy a weekend at Ray Roberts Lake State Park. We had not been here for a while due to flooding, but on our recent trip, it looks like everything is back in order. We stayed in space 135 - where we were able to walk down a slight slope to the shoreline. Lots are spacious and mostly shady. Site surface was asphalt and featured a fire ring and picnic table. Staff was very helpful. - Davishouse2

Check in was quick and easy, and the young woman was friendly. There are some pull through and many back in sites. Most sites have some slope to them, but nothing insurmountable. All sites have good separation, and the shady ones also have vegetation in between, adding to the sense of privacy. We did run into a problem after arriving at our site. We plugged in our Electrical Management System, and found that the electric outlet was wired backwards. (reverse polarity) I called the office and they sent someone out. He said there is no such thing as reverse polarity in this park! Anyway, after coming and going several times between his boss and I, he finally agreed to rewire the pedestal. After that, no problems. We were able to pick up many OTA TV stations, and Verizon coverage was good. No wifi at site. Park has both concrete and dirt paths, and a swimming area with a nice sandy beach. - BrentB

Visited week after Labor day. Park was quiet, immaculate and well manicured. Staff was helpful and courteous. The tent area is first come first served. The sites range from wide open grassy areas or heavily shaded or waterfront. While I camped in a tent, i did note RV sites were paved and nice as well. Boat ramps very nice as well. - starcraft35

My family booked Labor Day weekend 2017 with tent camping an a shelter. No electricity, no hot water in the showers. When contacted staff they stated they forgot to tell us. Money was lost then because they don't refund. Only give 80% credit on another stay. Wouldn't give us another area. Noise level was deafening with music blaring from boats that came and parked right next to your campsite. Staff said they couldn't do anything about that. Horrible stay and will advise anyone who asks. I will never return! - Katherine Fobbs

We stayed here while visiting family in Dallas so didn't use the park much. Very nice park staff with night security staff as well. Site was level and concrete. Hookups worked well and Verizon service was good. Right on Lewisville Lake with a marina and boat launch inside the park. - RoadtripImages dot com

Sites are way to narrow. When they are parked every other being opposite directions you connection side almost is slide against slide and the open side almost has to share space with you neighbor. Trees can be a problem as we had to back in and out several times to keep a large branch from tearing the roof. Railroad ties define each space which make it even harder to move your trailer. Sites are gravel and pretty level. Lots of 35e highway noise. Super friendly staff. Very clean park with a lot of mature trees. - snowbirdstoday

We are familiar with Destiny and stay with them when in the Dallas/Denton/Cornith area. The friendly customer service started even before we arrived as I left a date off of our stay and had to make back-to-back reservations. They called me a day later to amend and combine them into one. Check-in was smooth and our pull-thru site required just a little leveling for our 30' Class A coach. We do not tow. A previous camper had spilled some sticky liquid on the picnic table which had attracted a lot of ants. The camp service staff was on the scene minutes after this was reported and took appropriate action. Problem solved. The restrooms were a stone's throw away from any site. The park was clean and well maintained. There is a large area for your dog to run and play. The pool was clean and the spa relaxing. They have propane for portable and on-board re-filling. There are plenty of "doggie" waste cans if you are walking the park. If you need to clean your rig, there is an RV (and regular) wash rack on site. - DHK

We stayed here overnight while making headway across country. Although we were not here long enough to use them, there are a few good amenities like an onsite carwash/RVwash, and a pool and hot tub. Those perks do NOT outweigh the fact that there are entirely too many sites for the size of this park. Some of the sites are barely large enough to accommodate the RVs in them. Our site was so tight that our slide out encroached on the site next to us. We were very concerned we were going to hit trees both pulling in and out. There are a LOT of full time residents which is surprising for the space allowed. This park is right off of I-35 on an access road which makes exiting the park kind of scary. Traffic is very fast moving on the access road. We will definitely not stay there again. - LoudNomads

We initially arrived at the campground on the Saturday of Easter weekend and it was PACKED - all the sites were occupied with many large groups, and then there were tents all over the place - I guess anywhere tents are allowed. Our site was near the boat ramp and there were vehicles parked in front of it that we needed to ask to move before we could get parked. First impression was NOT GOOD! But, after the crowds left, the park was wonderful. It is reasonably convenient to I-35E and there are shopping areas close by. We were in site 15 which was a bit unlevel side-to-side but doable to get level with jacks on a motorhome (we met a fellow who stays there often in a 5th wheel and he said it was very hard to level his rig on that site). The park limits stays to 14 days out of 30. They were very understanding when we needed to cut our stay short and refunded the days that we had not used. The dump station is back up toward I-35E - about a mile away - near the school. I would not want to try to dump during the time that school kids are being dropped off or picked up as there is a lot of traffic at that time. On the weekend when the park was packed, the other folks staying at the park were obviously not frequent campground stayers and did not observe normal etiquette - at about 11pm, the folks from the campsite behind us were at our picnic table eating and chatting (they had moved from the table at their site presumably to allow their children in the tents to sleep). Other fellow campers saw no issue with walking through our site. But, once the holiday weekend was over, even on other weekends, we did not experience similar situations. There is no camp host on site; the city says that the police come through frequently and I guess that is true though we never needed to take advantage of their presence. - pattic777

No one in office to help. Pool closed. No restrooms, showers. Difficult to get in parking spot because of cars parked in front of spots. Had problems with electric hook up because of a breaker. Worst part of stay was a ROOSTER that crowed every morning at 5 a.m. Not anything like ad on web site! - SharonKay

First, the positive, location to nearby shopping & restaurants is good. Their web site lists a climate controlled exercise room, scenic picnic sites, free wi-fi, swimming pool. They have a pool, it needed some attention. There is no exercise room, no public restrooms, picnic sites consist of a couple tables, watch out for noxious weeds & don't walk your dog in the area or you'll be picking stickers out of their feet. Wi-fi is poor to non existent. Some sites are so close you wouldn't be able to extend slides. Low hanging branches need to be trimmed. Office is closed on weekends, posted hours don't seem to be accurate either. Routine maintenance & updates are so lacking I don't know how they pass any sort of inspection. All sites are back in, as close as some sites are to one another maneuvering a big rig into one could be a challenge. This would be a good place to open a real rv park. - G Host

I have traveled for seven years and this is the worst dump I have experienced. Tiny, dirty pool was closed, train tracks 50 yards away with trains coming through every 30 min., large rats, possums, feral cats roaming the park and copper head snakes. A resident was bitten while I was there and almost died. Owners did NOTHING. Dilapidated uninhabited buildings in various states of decay (perfect turf for wild animals, rats, snakes), no bathrooms, laundry room has four antiquated machines and filthy. The wireless internet is so poor just get used to the message "connection timed out." The pictures on their site and info is a farce. The positive reviews are obviously created by people with bias. If you don't believe me get here early with plenty of daylight and take a good look around before you give these crooks your money. I came in late, paid for a week in advance and was very upset by their dishonesty. Stay away! - Open Road Traveller

We stayed here over Thanksgiving after spending a week at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. While it might lack the grand views Hickory Creek was a pleasure to stay at. Our site looked out on the lake which was only 100' from the front door of our RV. What was also nice was the cluster of trees 20' from the camper which allowed us to string up our hammocks. We tried our hand at fishing but had no luck (likely a user error rather than a lack of fish). There were a few boats on the water but nothing that detracted from our stay. The only complaint (and its a very minor one) is how close the campground is from the DFW airport. If a silent sky is mandatory, this might not be the campground for you. After 20 years living in Houston, TX my family and I hardly even noticed the planes that passed over head every 10 - 15 minutes. Hickory Creek was great and has been put on our "to-do again" list. - Warkog

This is a COE Park and is located in a great area with lots of amenities north of Dallas. We saw deer everyday some turkeys and had a lovely site (11) right on Lake Lewisville. The site was on broken asphalt and not level. This park is very quiet during the week but as soon as Friday comes the RV's start rolling in, so really crowded on the weekends, although still very quiet at night.

The COE has a policy of only 14 nights and then you can apply for an extension which we tried to do, you can apply 4 days before your date you are to leave. The rangers approve if you stay or not, the problem was they don't notify you until it is time to leave which doesn't leave time to make other arrangements if you are not given a spot.

There is no sewers but a dump station. Sites are well spaced apart. - DallasRVers

Roomy long sites with a few pull through although 50 amp spotty. One crazy thing I'd never encountered before, an 11pm gate closing with no entry after that time, what a crock. Spoiled some of our tourist ventures for sure. This is beauracracy run amok. - budwang

Reviews of Ray Roberts Lake State Park / Johnson Branch Unit

Very narrow entrance at main gate off highway. Paved wide roads in campground. Fairly level back in site. Decent privacy. Aluminum picnic table and grated fire pit. Wood available for donation. Park hosts friendly. Only had 30A power. OTA channels clear. No wifi. Aged bathroom and showers. Park was "tired". Likely, will not return. - WinnMac

Very nice park, close to DFW area. Love the paved paths, great for biking. There is a book at check in that you can see photos of each site. Good setups at each site, most have shade some do not. There is a beach but it was a little too cool this trip. - Sharpe7tex
